This document is a Project 10073 record card and associated correspondence regarding a UFO sighting reported by a civilian in Marshall, Michigan, on February 27, 1964. The witness, a 15-year-old male, reported observing a light that changed colors from red to white and back to red for approximately 45 minutes.

The witness compared the object to the navigation light of a large plane at about 2 miles distance. The Air Force investigation concluded that the sighting was characteristic of an astronomical body, noting that the witness's claims regarding the object's rapid change in elevation were physically impossible for a star.

Sighting remains characteristic of Astro body and case carried in this category.
The object was identified as an astronomical body (star). The investigator noted that while the observer claimed the object changed elevation by 60 degrees in 45 minutes, this was considered doubtful as stars do not move in such a manner.
